Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion29 Nov 2020, 06:21 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 16:10 PMSully Conscripts are mainline infantry, not support units. They have merge which is extremely strong paired with an early flamer which is the meta in 2v2 at least. That's even ignoring the airborne SVTs that are also meta and allow them to dominate further. Dislodging conscripts from their sandbag spam is very tedious, especially as OKW. They're getting a free pass. Conscripts are support and they are mainline. Both these statements are true. Cons are supposed to keep the units around them operating at their best. You clearly don't understand a thing about conscript design as seen by your entire reply. Your complaints about them are their purpose built traits. They are supposed to SUPPORT units like flamers and are supposed to be tough to dig out of cover. They outlast the enemy. That's how they win because it sure as hell isn't out gunning em. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback29 Nov 2020, 06:11 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2020, 06:07 AMSupport Sapper Well, sure, but deathloop is a thing, too, mate. Definitely a factor but the 6 man crew is a factor that helps make up for that (or maybe deathloop helps make up for the 6 man?) The combination of 6 men to spread out small arms across and merge to keep it firing can not be understated. I've been very vocal for the exact change they are trying because mg performance shouldn't be vet gated but the maxim requires a delicate touch. At any rate pretendimg the maxim is exactly like other mgs and to b balanced like them is just foolish and undercuts your debating. It's a completely different unit with completely different supports than any other factions mgs and it can't be treated like that isn't the case In: COH2 Balance

This is broken and is being brought in line with all other AA. It also has instant set-up time unlike other similar vehicles. This is a totally fair change. It is still plenty fast: https://youtu.be/PwiVqcj1tIU?t=353 Thing is though... Other factions have more than 1 thing to shoot at planes. Not to say it didn't need toned down but being a cut above was fine as it lacked alternatives as well as survival bonuses all other AA have. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback29 Nov 2020, 05:56 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 23:23 PMgbem there's no reason for the maxim to need munitions on a timed ability to do what any other machinegun does out of the box for free but here we are... impressive double standards by vipper.... Well I mean.. There's the whole 6 man crew thing.... Lowering the rear armour on the isu is the right thing to do. Diving on and flanking a 70 range unit shouldn't be entirely RNG. Pronlems with other scenarios should be addressed of course but this one IS being addressed. It won't effect any player that doesn't get outplayed so I'm certain you won't even notice the change.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback28 Nov 2020, 18:57 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 17:18 PMSpoof Choosing Battlegroup locks out Mechanized and the crucial Puma. No other faction really has to "choose" for healing. It doesn't "lock out" the Puma. Churchill "locks out" the comet and vice versa, okw can always tech for the Puma. Whats more okw doesn't have to "choose" for healing. Their starting unit can AOE heal 3 times and a few units heal with vet. Okw is if anything the only faction that gets healing if you want it or not.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback28 Nov 2020, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 15:14 PMGachiGasm I belive it will be. One thing is being good at AI, and the other being able to insta wipe squads by the ability, which has no sound warning nor delay. We already had cromwells wiping every living thing by running over them. Also depending on the map it will be problem since it will be used from behind sight blocks, aswell as it might open pandora box in the way that it will vet up like crazy. Not to mention that 4-men squads will be insta wiped with it. Actually would have been fun to see in game, but I think it will be broken AF. With T34 just preventing any inf pushes by raming them. it could be tweaked as well right? give it a wind up, a revving noise. im under no illusion that it wouldnt make the t34 more threatening, but at least it would require player input. more reward but more micro and potential risk .

Thread: Can we please address OKW arty flares in new patch28 Nov 2020, 15:27 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 14:55 PMVipper Not really, both planes can be aimed already. UKF planes can already be called from specific direction. The first major planes will fly form base to direction it called in and the second (vet 1) from enemy base to point it called. major is more of a "kinda in this area" ability, as it seems to be relative to the major location. ive had many games where the major recon has missed. usually in the long maps where the bases are smooshed in a corner id forgotten about ukf getting freecon ill admit but again, at least these abilities alert the enemy and require a unit to use and CAN be shot down. once more they are incomparable to off map flares.

Thread: Soviets Mark Target28 Nov 2020, 15:24 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 14:36 PMmrgame2 yes you are right. the combination is very strong! needs to decouple them somewhat decouple the munitions from their territory and it wont be an issue. the combo requires a special unit of infantry, a 75mu upgrade, then a further 40 mu for button and another 80 for mark target. thats nearly 200mu for the first use and the squad cant move or the ability is halted. it can absolutley be very powerful, but any effort at all will counter it THAT SAID, i maintain imark target would be better designed, especially for the soviet as a target size increase and armour debuff. this would allow units like guards, and su76 and t34s and what not do a little better against harder armour instead of making already good units better. it would also remove the synergy of combining with strikes to nuke high health units.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback28 Nov 2020, 15:02 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 12:04 PMGachiGasm Problem with this, is that its most likely will be used to wipe inf. But if it possible to lower crashing profile during the ram, then it could work. it's got the debuffs afterwards so it might be OK. If the tank is going to more or less be useless in tank combat I don't think it would be nuclear if it can smoosh infantry tbh. Especially if there's a second or 2 that it's immobile afterwards and that time can always be altered as well. Well honestly you dont need ram to do the offmap, its just easier with it, you can just block them from behind and drop offmap. Thing is if there is a shreck blob running around, aswell as pak walls, then every allied faction will have problems dealing with mentioned units. All true but it doesn't change the fundamentals. Soviet AT HAS to go nose to nose with these units and there's nothing they can do to change that. Ukf are going to have Tulips and comets and piats to punish these beast and usf has more smoke that you can shake a stick at on top of the most mobile TD with HVAP to make the risk worth it.

Thread: Can we please address OKW arty flares in new patch28 Nov 2020, 14:51 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 08:07 AMVipper That "quick" pass allow to call in off map on any target behind enemy lines. Since the can be called in from enemy base and since major get 2 planes at vet 1 the chances of these planes being shot down before revealing lets say a howizter or truck are slim to none. The current patch make worse by allowing Major to call them from enemy base even at vet 0. I suggest you try them in game and see you get the vision you need to call in arty or not. In the patch it can be called in in different directions (I don't agree with this change however) but in live it's a dice roll if it's going to pass where you need it. I play team allies frequently and know from experience that it's not as reliable as you are making it out to be. Flares on the other hand cannot be more reliable and that is not hyperbole. They LITERALLY cannot get more reliable. In: COH2 Balance
